When shit gets real you need to talk about it!

Working Mom Perspective

If you didn’t have a caffeine addiction before kids, you will most definitely develop one after. I swear to god my daughter is the direct product of my caffeine addiction. It’s as though all the remnants of every caffeinated drink I ever consumed in my lifetime formed a coalition inside by body and hijacked my husbands sperm …

Baby names. A phenomenon I will never understand. For some reason picking the name of your child is one the most difficult decisions you will need to make in your adult life. It’s the one decision that is completely under your control and (unless you are the artist formerly known as Prince) once it’s chosen there’s no turning back. …

It seems that as much as you believe in the decision you’ve made to maintain your career after having kids, you will never escape the guilt that goes along with that decision. It’s an unnatural feeling for any mother to be separated from her child, and everyone always talks about how important it is to …

I know, I know. It’s been talked about a thousand times before, kids are gross. But until you live it, you really do not know the struggle. Keeping your kid looking even remotely presentable throughout the course of any day is like trying to defy the laws of gravity. It’s another force of nature that you just can’t stop. …

If you were trying out for one of those major talent shows like AGT or American Idol, wouldn’t it scare the shit out of you if you found out the judges were going to be a panel of toddlers? I’m serious…think about this for a minute. They have no filter. There is nothing politically …

About The Author

At some point in 2014, my poor husband grew tired of being the only person I could bitch to about the commute I had been doing for the last 10 years. I did him a solid, and one angry status update on social media later, "If traffic had a face I would punch it!" (of course) spawned the birth of this blog...and the rebirth of my sanity. I didn't know at the time, it would grow to be so much more. I credit this "knack" for putting words together to the thousands of emails I've written during the length of time I've spent in an HR related field, writing and rewriting to get points across in the least douchey way possible.
This site is about finding humor in the day-to-day activities that go hand in hand with my career, parenting, and relationships. I complain about my commute, but sometimes there are things going on in your life that only music, a cool breeze and a long drive can help you sort out.
I'm not a relationship expert, nor am I here to give parenting advice. I'm just quietly opening a window into my world so that other parents and couples may peek in and possibly relate to my own current events. I realize that parenting can be isolating, so I decided to start spilling my guts not only to gain a better nights sleep, but to hopefully help other parents feel a slightly less isolated existence. If my writing has made you smile, then my mission is accomplished. Feel free to laugh and cry with me! :)
